Playing a disc

Edit Menu

The edit menu can be accessed from the information banner while you are
playing a title on a DVD+RW or +R disc or on the internal DVR. It lets you
intervene in recordings, especially:

• Insert chapter bookmarks (DVD+RW)

To position marks in order to easily find your favourite passages. Since it is
not possible to delete a passage in title, you can use this function to mark
the start and end of undesirable sequences (e.g. advertising) in order to
mask it from being played using the Hide Chapter function (see further on).

• Delete chapter bookmarks (DVD+RW)

To delete undesirable markers in order to form longer chapters within a
title, or to redefine the position of bookmarks to your own requirements.

• Hide Chapter (DVD+RW)

To mask the chapter being played (the passage between two bookmarks) in
order not to play an undesirable passage (advertising, violent scenes...). If
you do not wish to play the masked chapters, you must select Play Title in
the title menu. If you wish to play all the chapters, including those you have
masked, select Play Full Title in the title menu.

• Create a new title image (DVD+R, DVD+RW)

Replaces the title image (on the Play menu) displayed by your DVD
recorder with an image of your choice.

• Divide a title (DVR)

To cut a title in two in order to separate and then rename the sequences.To
